Shrimp Spaghetti with Crumbs

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, halved
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup cooked shrimp
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Heat 2/3 cup olive oil and garlic in a skillet over medium-low heat until garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard garlic cloves.

Toss bread crumbs with about 2 tablespoons garlic olive oil in a bowl and spread bread crumbs over a baking sheet. Pour remaining garlic olive oil over spaghetti and toss to coat.

Bake bread crumbs in the preheated oven until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer bread crumbs to the bowl with spaghetti and toss.

Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shrimp, rosemary, and basil until shrimp is coated and heated through, about 5 minutes. Toss shrimp with spaghetti mixture and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.
